The Silent Frequency

When late-night radio host Gene Shoults plays a burst of mysterious static on air, he unwittingly unleashes an existential threat: a signal that erases concepts from the human mind. First, colors vanish. Then names. Soon, listeners forget how to breathe. As Gene races to stop the spreading silence, he discovers the terrifying truth—the voice in the static pleading “Don’t let them hear you” is his own future self, broadcasting backward through time.

Now hunted by insectile cosmic entities called the Editors, who “prune” humanity through waves of apocalyptic amnesia, Gene must confront a paradox. Every transmission accelerates the apocalypse, but silence means surrender. With the help of a neurologist marked by static scars and a producer slowly losing his identity, Gene battles to preserve the dying echoes of human memory. But as he uncovers a time loop tying his fate to a vanished 1942 radio host, Gene realizes his greatest weapon—and the Editors’ ultimate target—is the fragile, beautiful noise of his own flawed humanity.

A chilling blend of The Twilight Zone, Station Eleven, and Annihilation, The Silent Frequency explores what remains when language, love, and even time itself are stripped away.
